MEMS Energy Harvesting Device Using Polymer Electrets
Energy harvesting is now attracting much attention targeting at their application to automotive sensors, implantable medical equipments and network nodes for structural health monitoring.
Study of Thermal/Chemical Quenching Mechanisms Based on Laser Diagnostics and MEMS Technologies
Micro combustion, i.e., combustion under characteristic length smaller than the classic quenching distance, behaves much different from macroscale combustion.
Micro Thermophotovoltaic Power Generation System
In the present study, we aim at development of micro thermophotovoltaic (TPV) system using micro ceramic combustor.
Ammonia Combustion toward Decarbonized Energy Systems
Toward a carbon-free society, ammonia combustion is a core technology for efficient energy storage, transport, and utilization; however, challenges such as surface nitriding must be addressed.
Energy Conversion Using Metal Combustion
Metals such as Al, Fe, and Mg are promising energy carriers due to their high volumetric energy density, abundant availability, carbon-free nature, and recyclability. However, their combustion reactions under various oxidizing environments remain insufficiently understood.
Quantum computing for reacting flows
To use the quantum computers for the analysis of reacting flow problemes such as combustion and plasma, the algorithm and schemes are being developed. This is challenging because quantum computers are good at linear operateions, while reacting flows involves many non-linear physics.
